Highway star

A good friend of mine announced today that he was going on an unplanned backpacking road trip across the country just because he wanted to know what it feels like to dive into the ice cold sea and I'm wondering why I never had guts like that.

    That's pretty hardcore. I could never do something spontaneous like an unplanned trip. Funny story nonetheless.

    Well, I don't know how it is in other countries, but in Poland we've got group of people called 'walruses' and they do that in sea and not-yet-frozen lakes. There is always some record in TV when they do that. Crazy people.

    The reason is that he doesn't need guts, he needs curiosity. When you see the trek as a thing of wonder and amazement, it becomes exciting but when you see it as obstacles and the unknown, it becomes scary. It's all in how you frame it. He will find adventure if he seeks it.

    My goal was to swim in the sea, while it's lightly storming (lots of rain, quite a bit of wind, not too much). I did it, and the water was warmer than the land, because the wind doesn't blow underwater 8D
